Hyungjun “Kjun” Kim, game director of upcoming life sim Inzoi, is humble about making a game in such a complicated genre. He recently described creating a game of this scale as “reckless”, and in a global showcase revealing Inzoi’s pricing and roadmap, he said that, “as a developer I think Inzoi still has a lot to improve on.”
Which is why, he explained via an official translator, it’ll launch in early access for $40 and “until there’s a full launch all updates and DLCs will be provided for free.”
Kjun then revealed Inzoi’s roadmap for the rest of the year, with four updates planned over the course of 2025. “Now in order for this promise to mean anything,” he said, “development has to continue consistently and we are committed to continuing the development and committing to this roadmap.”
In addition to these major updates, the plan is to release new outfits and furniture every three months. “This is not finalized though,” Kjun said. “We will continue to communicate with you, actively listening to your requests and incorporating your feedback.”
Kjun also explained that, as of the May update, going to the gym will change your Zoi’s body shape, while the August update will include a “cat-themed city” to tie into International Cat Day on August 8. Here’s the roadmap.
